Court Ensemble performance video with changgo

Double-headed hour-glass drum. Hollow, hour-glass shaped
wooden body, red with black and yellow designs. Two white
skins are stretched over wide loops and stitched to conceal
the loops. Skins are held at either end of the body by thick
lacing woven in a zigzag fashion through metal hooks that
hook onto both ends around the rims. The cords are then
caught together in pairs at one end with a loose leather
loop, forming a “Y” pattern. These leather loops can be
moved up or down along the cords to increase or decrease the
tension on the heads. The left side is covered with cowhide
and struck with the left-hand palm; the right side is
covered with horsehide and is struck with a slim bamboo
stick.Changgo is used in Korean court music - hyangak
ensemble. Also accompanies kagok (a kind of song cycle) in
an ensemble. Accompanies sijo (lyric song style) alone with
singer or with a small ensemble. Accompanies kasa (a long
narrative song) either alone with singer or with small
ensemble. Used for secular music, in popular music and
festivals.This instrument has a repaired crack in the
drum body. There is a duct-tape patch, 8 cm long, on the
inside of the smaller head, repairing a small tear.
